    Does parent website affect the cron job command in any way?

    The cronjob is executed under the linux system user of the parent website.

    What's the difference executing on different users?

    Operating systems like Linux have a user and permission system to ensure that not every logged in user can open every file. So when you select to run a application under a specific user, then this application and the files that this application shall edit or create must be accessible for the user.
